Matt Gaetz Attacks Democratic Congressman For Son's Suicide

You know how awful Matt Gaetz is. At least ya think ya do. Accused of sex trafficking underage girls. Wearing a gas mask to mock those with COVID. But, the other day, he personally attacked a fellow Rep, Jamie Raskin, to try and discredit him before the upcoming January 6th hearings. How did he do it? By bring up Raskin's son's suicide, and saying that made him "unfit" to do his job. Matt Gaetz is pure garbage. Cliff provides the breakdown & takedown.

you know i think one of the real differences that's not discussed often enough which is to say really not at all because of the media trying to both sides everything is just how awful individual member to the republican party has become i often like to refer to it as the fly paper uh theory which other people have for other things i think i stole it from so far my fly paper theory is the republican party because of the louds and the abusers and the traitors and the criminals they've let among their ranks they've encouraged to walk among their ranks the people they they cheer for kyle rittenhouse and george zimmerman and people like that what it's done is it's created this effect where if you are an awful person if you are a conscienceless soulless sociopath the the normal thing if you're trying to make a buck or you're just trying to make become famous the thing to do would be to join the republican party i mean this all got a lot worse with donald trump but it started years ago with newt gingrich and tom delay and mitch mcconnell and i i say all this because i bring you matt gates who again he will be somebody that will be new to you he's an awful human being he's spoiled brad whose dad bought him a congressional seat even though he'd never done a damn thing with his life in florida uh but it goes far worse than that of course gates is an accused sex trafficker right now he's being investigated by the fbi for sex trafficking underaged women he went down on the household the other day to say they're pretending to trim around the edges of the second amendment but but that's not what's going to happen this is a full throated attack on the second amendment that they're doing are they being democrats first of all uh it's not the second amendment never gave an individual right and that's an argument for another time that this crazy supreme court changed uh what the constitution meant but we're talking about ways to stop people from being killed background checks red flag laws just common sense things second i found interesting that somebody being accused of sex trafficking underage women would use full-throated um but i mean there's so much worse there is the area where that's the national security where national security secrets are discussed no you can't bring in cell phones the room's protected called the skiff and during the first impeachment inquiry when there was a meeting in there because it had national security implications because the republicans of course wanted to allow donald trump to extort zielinski just by coincidence the person that vladimir putin chose to attack when he attacked ukraine vladimir putin who marjorie taylor green and who madison kawhorn and others have expressed support for tucker carlson um he broke into this gift uh you know with a bunch of his buddies on the right and they came into this area of our national security with their cell phones so that china russia who knows who else could get access to our secrets he has mocked gun violence victims um numerous times it's hard to think of somebody more awful you know than matt gates and now with the hearings about to start tonight on television he's gone after jamie raskin who is an admirable honorable former law professor congressman from maryland uh who will be running a lot of the the hearings um matt gates said that he didn't think representative raskin could do his job why and this should make you feel the way it makes me feel because representative raskin's son committed suicide a year or two ago he was about a year ago plus and so how could he objectively do his job as a congressman matt gates is still sitting on a judiciary committee that oversees the fbi while he's being investigated for trafficking underage women scumbag that he is but he hasn't stepped down from judiciary somehow representative raskin has a tragedy his personal life involves his son but that won't allow him to take an honest look at january 6th in the attacks and run the january 6 committee it doesn't make any sense matt gates doesn't make any sense of course maybe that's how his head grew to be the size of butt heads um he's a clown in a normal age he would have no place in congress in the republican party but we're in this age right now we're a guy that breaks into a secure facility with a national that maybe
